2012 Audi A3

The tail light bulbs melts plastic and can cause fire. My light indicator came on. When I checked the bulb, the internal structure was melted. I ordered exact model from a junk yard. When I received, I noticed it had the same issue and the internal structure was melting from heat of light bulb. Both Left and Right Tail light structures were melting. Potential fire hazard.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED RECALL INFORMATION FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE. - I CALLED AUDI STEVENS CREEK 888-462-7410 AS INSTRUCTED TO SCHEDULE REPAIR - AUDI SAID THEY ARE NOT DOING THE REPAIR AS NO AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED BY AUDI AMERICA - THERE IS NO ETA WHEN REPAIR MAY BE DONE THE STEVENS CREEK AUDI DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO SCHEDULE MY AIRBAG REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL. LAST YEAR I SPECIFICALLY MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AUDI TAMPA (105 E FOWLER AVE, TAMPA, FL) FOR THIS PURPOSE ON AUGUST 9 2017. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE TIME, EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW WHY I WAS THERE SAID THEY HAD RUN OUT AND NOT TO WORRY THAT THE RECALL ISN'T THAT BAD. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT A YEAR LATER I AM REMINDED THAT THIS STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED BY AUDI. AS AN ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBER I DON'T HAVE THE TIME NOR FLEXIBILITY TO CHASE AUDI DOWN. I WOULD EXPECT THAT AUDI WOULD BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CONSIDERING THIS IS AN ERROR IN THEIR DESIGN AND IMPACTS THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THEIR PRODUCTS.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL BY LETTER OVER ONE YEAR AGO. I HAVE TRIED TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AT TWO DIFFERENT AUDI DEALERSHIPS. BOTH DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR A REPAIR ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT THE CURRENT AIRBAG IN MY CAR IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK THAT WHEN INFLATED DURING A CRASH COULD SHOOT METAL FRAGMENTS INTO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS (ME!). THE LACK OF RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE. I EXPECT AN EXPEDIENT INVESTIGATION AND RESOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD.

TAMARA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FEBRUARY OF 2016 NOTIFYING ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. ONE YEAR LATER THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION FROM AUDI TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A TIME BOMB. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?
